About the Item

30"x30" ink and watercolor on paper, signed on reverse by artist. This painting is presented floated in finely crafted shadowbox frame. Washes of colors in deep blues and greens underlaid by rose tones in this painting by Jesse Lambert, create the background for the graphic black ink line work of wooden planks, tree trunks and rope. A visage from the artist's youth building a treehouse, this painting summons thoughts of Summer in a wistful remembrance. This painting is from as series of ink and watercolor paintings that depict ad-hoc structures, similar to tree houses or forts. These structure Jesse Lambert is referencing are constructed out of found and reclaimed bits of wood and debris such as bent nails, string, cloth, clothespins, discarded tools and other household implements. Evoking the universal human desire for shelter and protection, these assemblages reference domestic spaces, but fail to function as those spaces normally would. Paintings of these subject matter show the accumulated effects of time on objects and our environment. Jesse Lambert was born in Hudson, NY and grew up in rural New Hampshire and New York City. Jesse received a BFA from Cooper Union and a MFA in Painting from Hunter College. Jesse has exhibited his work at The Front Room Gallery, Brooklyn; White Columns, NYC; Klaus Von Nichtssagend Gallery, NYC; Ningyo Editions, Watertown, MA; Matter Gallery in Portland, ME; Miller Block Gallery, Boston, MA; Joseloff Gallery, Hartford, CT among other venues. His work has been exhibited at NOVA and Bridge art fairs in Chicago and Aqua art fair in Miami. He has attended residencies at Skowhegan, the Vermont Studio School in Johnson, Vermont and the Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art in Yerevan, Armenia. Jesse's exhibitions have been reviewed on Hyperallergic, artnet, in the The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Brooklyn Rail, The Yale Daily News and The Aravot Daily, Yerevan, Armenia, and featured in New American Paintings, amongst other publications. He currently lives in Jackson Heights, NY and works in Long Island City, NY.

  • "Hummingbirds and Honeysuckle", ink and watercolor painting on paper
    By Jesse Lambert
    Located in New York, NY
    78” x 42” ink and watercolor on paper, signed on reverse by the artist, Jesse Lambert. The abstract ground of washes of green, blue, orange and rose tones over white create an active field of color. The imagery of hummingbirds and bird feeders amongst graphic representation of trees, leaves and branches are created with defined black inkwork lines. Pattern and repetition with the vertical tree trunks, are intersected with cross sections of lumber with beautiful wood grain. This large scale painting is featured in "Shelter, Scatter, Feed" a solo show of new works by Jesse Lambert. Front Room Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of new works on paper by Jesse Lambert, titled, "Shelter, Scatter, Feed". This is Jesse Lambert’s second solo show at Front Room Gallery. In this exhibition, Lambert continues to explore themes of shelter, safety, and the passing of time. His ink and watercolor paintings on paper depict abandoned scenes in an abstracted rural space. In previous works, Lambert combined the spaces of domesticity and the natural world, with an occasional appearance of the human figure. His new work contemplates the new reality under COVID-19, and continues to evoke the universal need for shelter and protection. In these paintings Lambert imagines the world abandoned by human inhabitants, reclaimed by nature- as if the world has moved on, without us. In this series, 
Lambert’s familiar color washes have taken on a more natural hue. Lambert presents a grouping of medium sized paintings which explore the theme of birdhouses as a metaphor for human needs. The birdhouses are falling apart or incomplete, dysfunctional structures failing to meet their stated function. In his larger paintings, remnants of built structures of unknown use are scattered across a forested setting. Strips or planks of wood are nailed to tree trunks. A broken ladder promises ascent, but falls apart. Fragments of wood and string hint at former use, yet all vestiges of functionality have disappeared. Abandoned bird feeders swing precariously. Within the chaos of darting birds, falling leaves and flowers, and remnants of built space, a pattern almost emerges. These paintings emote a feeling of webbed interconnectedness that reveals the beauty of decayed things, and an allure of the poignancy of impermanence. In a series of smaller black and white drawings...
